They put those rights into the laws of their states and later into the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights.

The Magna Cart "No freeman shall be taken, imprisoned, … nor will We proceed against or prosecute him, except by the lawful judgment of his peers and by the law of the land.“ Freemen will be judged by the law of the land. "… to no one will We deny or delay, right or justice.“ Justice will not be denied to anyone.
